the barcode. The barcode information appears in the appropriate
entry field.

critical that you scan (or enter) the correct identification
number.
Add a Patient List You apply a Patient List to any batch or multi-batch only during
batch setup at the Luminex Batch Setup dialog box.
The Patient List text file must meet the following requirements:
• The first line of text in the file must be “LX100IS Patient List”
• The second line of text in the file must be “[Accession#, Dilution
Factor]”
• Any following lines of text should be only in the format, “x, y”
Where x = accession ID number for the patient (patient identifier
string) and y = dilution factor
• The dilution factor is optional, but if entered, must be a numeric
value
• If the dilution factor is omitted, the system defaults to one
• Patient list entries are case sensitive. This applies to entries made
through the graphical user interface or in a file
Review the file before saving for the batch. The format must be like
the following example or it will not load properly. Once you load the
patient list to the new batch, then you may make edits to the dilution
field. Before you save the newly created batch, you need to double
check all Sample IDs before selecting Save Only or Save and Load
prior to clicking Finish.
